I got about 5 bottles that each retailed for over $30.

I've also recently enjoyed several Argentinian Malbecs from TJ's--all $5 or under.Brittany Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03634275133116227069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474479852287201750.post-74566286384934037902010-02-26T10:08:48.099-08:002010-02-26T10:08:48.099-08:00I usually buy our wine at Costco, and my mother us...I usually buy our wine at Costco, and my mother usually buys wine at Cost Plus -- I will have to look for some of the wines you ladies have suggested.<br />And one of my friends just told me a few days ago that her favorite place to buy great wine (and cheese) is Grocery Outlet.

It was way better, in our opinion!<br />I like the Beringer wines, too.<br />And, I'll have to watch Wine for the Confused.

Which if I remember correctly are about $5 a bottle and have been some of our all-time favorites!<br /><br />On a related note, you guys should watch "Wine for the Confused- with John Cleese". It is a great documentary/explanation for those of us who don't know "wine talk". One of my favorite parts is where he gives a blind taste test and asks people to rate how expensive they think it is (from a $5/bottle-$100/bottle) and no one could actually pick out the cheap wine.Kristahttp://krista.sobrakseaton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1474479852287201750.post-32226436813923639152010-02-25T20:26:44.814-08:002010-02-25T20:26:44.814-08:00Ah...Markus and I love wine.

We rarely ever pay more than $6.99 for a bottle and if we do, we are high rollin'!<br /><br />Some of our favorites are: Barefoot Zinfandel (SOOO GOOD!), Blackstone Merlot, La Finca Malbec, Beringer Merlot...We have a long list...I will spare you!Ninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18420111252054198703noreply@blogger.com
